It's done it twice so far, the first time I was driving down the road and the engine died all of a sudden. I put it in neutral started it back up and it kept on going like nothing happened. It happened again today I was at a stoplight went to hit my brakes to stop and the engine just died right there. Started right back up and acted like nothing happened. Any suggestions?

Is it bogging down and then dying, or just sudden like you turned the key off?
